The Shooting Of StoneWaH Jackson At
ChanceIlorsv1lIe.
After night fell, Stonewan Jackson
rode out with his staff to reconneiter in
front of the line he had gained. It was
his idea to streach completely around in
the rear of Hooker and cut him off from
the river.
The night was dark and Jackson soon
came upon the Union lines. Their infan-
try drove him back, and as he returned in
the darkness, his own soldiers began fir
ing at their commander, of course mis-
taking his party for the enemy. Jackson
was shot in the hand and wrist, and in
the upper arm at the same time His
horse turned, and the general lost his
hold of the bTidle-rein; his cap was
brushed from his head by the branches;
he reeled and was caught in the arms of
An officer. After . moment he was as
sisted to dismount, his wound was e1-
amined, and litter was brought. Just
then the Union artillery opened again,
and murderous fire came Down upon
the party through the woods aud the dark
ness. One of the litter bearers stumbled
and fell, and the others were frightened;
they laid the litter on the g1ound, the
furious storm of shot and shell sweeping
over them like hail. Jackson ATTEMPTED
to rise. but his aid de camp held him
down till the tempest of fire was lulled.
Then the wounded general was helped to
rlse. and walked few steps in the forest;
but he became FAINT and was laid again
in his litter. Once he rolled to the ground
when an assistant was shot, and the litter
fell, Just then General Pender, one of
his subordlnates, passed; he stopped and
said:
Il hope you are not seriously hurt,
General. fear I shall have to retire my
troops, they are so much broken"
But Jackson looked up at once and ex
claimed:
You must hold your ground. General
